ACRES CORN UPDATE:
Com futures closed lower and at
session lows in response to late
local long liquidation, posting los
ses from unchanged on the
deferred December contract to
2-3/4 on the spot option. Selling
throughout the session was tied to
the lack of fresh fundamentals
with the market awaiting news on
Egypt’s tender for 250,000 metric
tonnes. Losses in the spot Decem
ber were tied to the continued
heavy delivery pace with its close
today 2-3/4 cents lower at
$2.55-1/4.
ACRES SOYBEAN
UPDATE: Soybean futures
closed lower from 2 to 5-1/4 cents
on late long liquidation. Today’s

session was choppy with both
buying and selling attributed to
conflicting South American
weather forecasts. This market has
turned into a full-blown weather
market with all eyes focused on
the latest reports from South
America. Today’s steep climb in
the dollar had little impact on the
soy futures. Some pressure was in
response to news that Taiwan had
passed on its tenders. January lost
5-1/4 cents and closed out the day
at $7.68.
ACRES WHEAT UPDATE:
Wheat futures closed higher today
from 1/2 on the July option to 3
cents on the spot option with buy
ing linked to a firmer export link-

eup. Movement was rather choppy
due to low volume, with heavy
professional buying in the spot
option late in the session. Some
pressure late in the day was linked
to spillover from the soy complex
and com pits with December clos
ing out the day 3 cents higher at
$4.23.
ACRES CATTLE UPDATE:
Live cattle futures closed from 15
to 40 points higher today while
feeders closed from 8 lower to 15
higher. Cash connected buying
supported in an other wise lack
luster session with selling interest
absent due to concerns over a
heavy winter storm which is
expected to hit the Texas panhan-
